Pretty cool site. When they finally shut it down the fuel was taken to Georgia Tech and ran their test reactor that operated until it was decommissioned before the Olympics.
It seems to be cyclic around here. I’ve been here in the city proper for 15+ years not counting college and I can’t tell if it is getting worse, but it sure ain’t getting better. There is a tent city at Maynard Terrace and I-20 that I always see on my way to work. I-20 and 75/85 interchange...
